And yes, I have a vacancy...must be at least at the six sigma master level, 20 years management experience with blue chip companies and managed multi-million pound projects. £14ph.
Expensive at half the price!

Sacked for hoarding stuff? Tea? Coffee? Sugar?Originally posted by MailmanSome f8cker has been hoarding stuff and not telling anyone, thus putting the delivery of a very important project of mine at risk. Things came to a head today when he sent out a poorly written communication to the business that just made everything else worse.
End result, had the f9ckers contract terminated and marched off the premises.
Ah the power I tell you...the power!

Mailman have you thought of this possibility: that this this button-down selfish person might just snap, and then stalk from office to office with an Armalite AR-10 carbine gas-powered semi-automatic weapon, pumping round after round into colleagues and co-workers?
